thivest: why the french dont get fat?

Americans just can not find peace. They wonder why the French fact, most consumers of butter, cream and cheese (all produced significantly away from light) are found not to fight the scourge of obesity rather hated scourges, for decades, their society.

Childhood Obesity According to a study should first educate the parents and then children to reduce the junk food. The quick answer to the problem, however, may come directly from the European culture. In fact, the old continent, people seem to eat not because they have to, but because eating is one of the founding values of their culture.
